Chapter 446: Resentment is heavier than ghosts
After returning, Lu Qiu and Xia Wange studied together the strange competitions of the past. Of course, these competitions were concentrated in the last few rounds and would not appear in the early stages.
There is nothing that cannot be imagined, there is no most bizarre, only more bizarre. Some of them seem to be thought up on the spur of the moment. It is really strange to see that Xia Wange does not want to participate in this kind of competition.
There is an endurance test - endurance, where a female ghost/male ghost is around to deliberately lure the contestants, and then the contestants write numbers from 1 to 500, without any mistakes...
Wow, it’s really wow. There is a note at the back, which says that the rule of writing Arabic numerals instead of symbols or Chinese characters is to take into account the people who are interested in metaphysics abroad.
However, this competition will probably not happen again, because no one was eliminated that year.
But it’s not necessarily the case now. Xia Wange feels that he will definitely be eliminated.
There are also long-distance running competitions - the farther you run with the help of the underworld's tools, the more likely you are to win.
Past Glory - Talk about the most amazing metaphysical thing you have ever done, and let everyone judge who is more amazing.
I like this summer evening song.
But after thinking about it, she couldn't think of anything particularly amazing she had done.
I hope this question won’t come up by then.
Call friends - the more ghosts you can call to help you out, the more it shows that you have a wide range of friends...
I hope this doesn't happen either. I hope the number of ghosts she beat up can be counted. After all, she killed people all over the street...
Well, this can be discussed in the "Past Glory" competition.
Of course, there are some other more peculiar competitions, but compared to these, things like helping wronged ghosts to redress their grievances, and exorcising evil spirits, are too normal, so normal that they don’t need to be singled out for discussion.
.
Time flies, and the New Year is almost here.
Lu Qiu returned home at noon on New Year's Eve. When he went home, he brought with him several "Fu" characters given by Xia Wange, as well as the door gods that she had painted herself.
It’s not that Lu Qiu has been hanging out with Xia Wange until now, but in order to free up time, he has been working overtime to deal with work matters. Although many things have been arranged after the New Year, most of the resolutions still need to be approved by him, and he needs to grasp the general direction.
For example, people in the company are very impetuous now, and everyone wants to rush forward madly, so he is needed to cut off some projects that are too big and remove some people who are eager for quick success and quick money.
At first, when the people in the company heard that their General Manager Lu came to the company alone and did not come with Sister Xia, everyone was happy. They thought that General Manager Lu could finally escape from the gentle life and return to work hard.
What happened instead was a deadly series of cuts. Except for salary, bonus and vacation, everything else was cut.
Originally, we wouldn't have cut so much, but it was because of the meeting early in the morning.
The old employees in the company know that Mr. Lu either doesn’t make any comments or doesn’t change his mind easily once he speaks, so they won’t contradict him but will follow his lead and make changes.
And if you think about it carefully, it is true that they were too eager for quick success due to the recent traffic, and only considered production capacity instead of sales.
Unexpectedly, the newcomer thought that Mr. Lu was usually gentle and polite, and thought he could give it a try, so he continued to argue.
In the end, President Lu got so angry that he demoted the person to observation and reviewed all the projects again. The atmosphere in the meeting room was so low that day that everyone hoped that Sister Xia could come to visit.
Later, the old employees all disliked the newcomer. Just because the big tiger looks cute when he is not angry, you dare to show off your skills in front of the experts? If you don’t have a tough and domineering character in your bones, how can the company grow so big in just a few years?
As a result, Lu Qiu stayed up late for several nights and worked overtime for several days. In the end, Xia Wange felt that there were fewer ghosts looking for him recently. After all, his resentment was heavier than that of ghosts. Of course, she didn't bother Lu Qiu, so that he wouldn't look at the documents seriously and talk to her gently, and keep changing his face. Sometimes his face didn't change at all, and he said to her inexplicably seriously and coldly, "Come here and sit down."
At that moment, all the stories about domineering CEOs that Xia Wange had read flashed through his mind uncontrollably like a revolving lantern.
She wanted to ask Lu Qiu at that time whether he said "Come here and sit" or "Come here and do it".
Otherwise, Lu Qiu would say that she violated the "No Seduction Agreement During Work" and then make a note of it in the "Mutually Needing to Fulfill Each Other's Wishes Rules".
However, Xia Wange still reminded the other party that too little sleep can also be very damaging to one's health.
In the end, Lu Qiu's schedule became going to bed at 11 o'clock, getting up at 6:30, and the rest of the time was either working or eating.
Of course, all this ended on New Year’s Eve. After all, it was Chinese New Year, and Lu Qiu was not yet so passionate about work that he had to work on New Year’s Eve.
After spending the whole morning with Xia Wange, Lu Qiu reluctantly took his food home to eat.
"Oh." Seeing Lu Qiu coming back, Mother Lu laughed and teased, "Busy man, you're so busy. I haven't seen you for a long time. You finally came back for dinner? I thought you wouldn't be willing to come back for the New Year this year."
Brother Lu, who was about to take the couplets to the door to paste, saw Lu Qiu and heard what he said. He said, "How could Qiu not come back for the New Year because of work? Mom, you are too serious."
Mother Lu: “…”
Is it possible that she was just joking?
Mother Lu glanced at Father Lu. Was it because her tone just now wasn't obvious enough?
Brother Lu said a few good words to Lu Qiu's mother, then turned to Lu Qiu and said, "Has the company been so busy in the past half month? I haven't seen you go home. No matter how busy you are at work, you must take care of your health and balance work and rest. Try to go home when you can. I can go home four or five days a week. With the size of your company, that shouldn't be possible."
Lu Qiu: “…”
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
His company is not big compared to his home, but it is not small either.
The point is...
"Brother, is it possible that I'm not living outside because of the company's business?"
Brother Lu glanced at Lu Qiu and said, "Why? But you have been... "
He looked up and down at Lu Qiu who was sitting in the wheelchair. "Have you been walking a lot recently?"
Lu Qiu: “?”
Brother Lu said, "The heels of the shoes on your feet are a little worn."
Lu Qiu looked down at his shoes.
This shouldn’t happen. He didn’t wear these shoes many times and he didn’t walk many steps, so how could they be worn out?
But he didn't hide it, so he took the cane beside him, stood up, walked a few steps, and then sat down again and said, "I can barely walk a few steps now, but it's unstable. At present, this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent solution."
